Just a reminder to everyone, when you see the following text line at the top of a message coming to this discussion list, it is a message being mirrored from the web message board: "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list." That simply means the originator of the message posted it to the web message board and not directly to the e-mail discussion list. We have a feature in place on Rootsweb which allows the e-mail list subscribers to see new web message postings. One thing we have to keep in mind is that the original posting person may not necessarily be subscribed to this discussion list. If you respond to one of this type of messages via e-mail back to the list, the person may not see your response. Within each of those messages is a hyperlink to that specific message on the web board. It's best to post responses there, to assure you're really getting your information back to the intended party. This does not apply to messages on this discusion list which does not have the gateway header.
